T20 WC: Ishan Kishan Suffers Toe Injury In Nets Ahead Of Namibia Clash
Arun Jaitley Stadium: Defending champions India suffered a brief injury scare on Wednesday after wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan was struck on the toe by a searing Jasprit Bumrah yorker during an optional practice session at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, ahead of their Group A against Namibia on Thursday.
Kishan, who has been in prolific form and made 20 in the tournament opening win over USA at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, was the first to pad up in the nets as Bumrah, Varun Chakaravarthy and Washington Sundar bowled to him. But early in his session, a Bumrah yorker thudded into his left foot, leaving him in immense pain.
He walked out of the nets grimacing before sitting down on the ground, prompting immediate attention from the physios. Support staff rushed to unfasten his left pad and shoe as Kishan continued to grimace due to the pain. Bowling coach Morne Morkel also checked in during the assessment made by the physios.
